Sundance Institute at BAM: Chien de Faïence @ BAM Cafe Live

"Marc Ribot's new power trio, filled out by the remarkable versatile rhythm team of bassist Shahzad Ismaily and drummer Ches Smith, is his rawest band in ages."—TimeOut New York In French, “Chien de Faïence” refers to a stare-down, or, for the more literal-minded, a “Ceramic Dog.” It’s an appropriate name for three free jazz giants—Marc Ribot (guitar), Shahzad Ismaily (bass), and Ches Smith (drummer)—who play as if completely riveted to one another’s sounds. Ismaily has composed for films through Sundance Institute’s Composers Lab, and he joins Ribot and Smith to create a visceral, experimental sound of gut-quaking proportions. this calendar is brought to you by BrooklynVegan
